Otoplasty Ear Surgery in Mumbai
Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)
Dr. Amiti Shah is one of the best ear reconstruction Surgeon in India and has had visits from various patients who are not happy with the look and shape of their ears. For them she recommends an Otoplasty, which is a surgical procedure that permanently alters the shape of the ears. Most of the time this surgery is performed for patients who complain about asymmetric or protruding ears (ears that stick out too much). In India in particular, women struggle with elongated ear piercings since they may wear heavy earrings for long periods of time. This not only causes the smaller earrings to slip out easily but also gives an aesthetically unappealing appearance. Dr. Shah can easily correct this through an Otoplasty as well.

What is Otoplasty or Ear Correction Surgery?
Otoplasty, also known as ear surgery, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is performed to improve the appearance of the ears. The procedure is typically used to address ears that protrude too far from the head, are misshapen, or are asymmetrical.
During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision behind the ear and removes or reshapes the cartilage as necessary. The ear is then repositioned closer to the head and held in place with sutures. The incision is then closed with sutures, which are typically removed after about two weeks.
Otoplasty is typically performed on an outpatient basis under local anesthesia, though general anesthesia may be used for children or for more complex cases. Recovery time varies, but patients can typically return to work or school within a week or two after the procedure. It is important to follow the postoperative instructions provided by the surgeon to minimize the risk of complications and to promote healing.Otoplasty is generally considered a safe and effective procedure with a high rate of patient satisfaction.
What is involved in ear reconstruction?
When performing an Otoplasty to reshape the ears, Dr. Shah ensures none of the internal structures are touched but rather the other structures that may add to the prominence of ears are modified. The repair of elongated earlobes is a minor surgical procedure done under local anesthesia and performed several times by Dr. Shah. The repair is done surgically by stitching up the elongated part of the ear. This gives strength to the weakened area. After the site has completely healed and acquired enough strength, the ear can be pierced again.
What are the benefits of otoplasty?
Improved appearance: Otoplasty can improve the appearance of the ears, making them more proportionate to the face and reducing any asymmetry or deformities.
- Greater comfort: Ears that protrude too far from the head can be uncomfortable and can cause irritation or discomfort when wearing hats or headphones. Otoplasty can help to alleviate these symptoms.
- Permanent results: Otoplasty provides permanent results, with the ears retaining their new shape and position for the long term.
- Low risk of complications: Otoplasty is typically a safe and low-risk procedure, with a low likelihood of complications such as infection or scarring.
